Relatives of Ukrainian soldiers participating in the ATO held sheets of paper containing the details of their relatives, contact with whom had been lost. People assume that they were captured and that they are being abused there. According to those gathered, Vladimir Putin is to blame for everything - the protesters demanded from him to stop the outrages: “Putin, stop mocking the prisoners!” – was written on the only poster held by the picket participants.
The event was organized by Ukrainian activist Irma Krat, whose time in captivity in Slavyansk was widely reported in the media and social networks. Members of Automaidan and some other public organizations also joined the picket.
Irma Krat stated that she was tortured in captivity, and intends to seek punishment for everyone who participated in this after Ukraine wins the war.
“I don’t understand what kind of principle this is, that we won’t return the Donbass battalion to you,” she said, commenting on the refusal to hand over the fighters of the Donbass volunteer battalion to the Ukrainian side.
“We will win this war, we will return Donbass, and everyone who is now involved in torture will be punished. I left captivity, I already found everyone who tortured me. I know who is where, who lives where. After the war, I will fight to ensure that these people are punished. Every single one,” promises Irma Krat
Afterwards, the floor was given to the relatives of the missing soldiers, who spoke about their relatives.
And the representative of the movement “For a Free Ukraine” Raisa Shmatko reproached the people of Kiev for political passivity.
“I wish there were a lot more of us... I go to the front line, communicate with the fighters and see who is fighting against Ukraine. There is no need to tell fairy tales, this is Russia. That's why I'm here today. There are a lot of policemen standing there. I have a question for our government - who are you protecting? From whom? From us, who can no longer tolerate this obscenity? They feel good here. Do you hear? Get out of Ukraine! You are killing our sons and children.
Ukrainians and Kyivians, don’t sleep, come here so that this bastard can see how much we “love” her. I am ashamed of you, people of Kiev, that there is no one here. In the Czech Republic, Hungary, London, people stand up, but here they don’t. Or do you not care that our guys are dying? Repent, come here and tell this bastard to get out of Ukraine,” Shmatko said.
